NEW ISSUE
Making Sense
This issue of Making Do attempts to explore the process of "making sense" as a method of creative production, making sense in the space between reality and fantasy. What happens in that space, the often nervous frequency between the real and the non-real?
Using and pushing the process further, the editors have decided to not even attempt to make sense of each other by working together. Instead, they have each visited that territory separately and with the company of their contributors - the results of which, was then put together in an envelope. The reader holds the evidence of these journeys.

Issue 2 - Making Sense
“I AM” is a series of collages depicting a social experiment on the self, the relation with its environment, the challenges faced in daily life and the roles it takes and participates in different situations. It is the re-presentation of the “mirror stage” in a wider context.
Hanging out with a mockup of an ideal self created using photography as a primary medium (which itself is mirrors and lenses), in stead of a simple mirror
has given me the opportunity to create a comparison between a stable, aesthetic/characterized form of myself and the reality of myself, and the implications that lie therein. Its need to be the same in any context creates both an internal and external psychological tension, as well as an environmental juxtaposition. The inconvenience caused when the art is in transit reverberates physically and metaphorically, and ultimately has a profound systematic effect on the outcome of the project as a whole.
